Before she was thrown into the spotlight as AKA's fiancée, Anele “Nelli” Tembe was a qualified chef with a dream of running her own luxury, world-renowned restaurant.
Nelli died on Sunday after apparently falling from the 10th floor of the five-star Pepperclub Hotel in central Cape Town.
Before meeting AKA, Nelli attended the Jackie Cameron School of Food and Wine in Hilton, KwaZulu-Natal, where she enrolled for an 18-month cooking course between 2018 and 2019.
